MK6 R HPA INTAKE MANIFOLD

[joeyfrost]

Hey everyone,

Prior to my intake manifold swap, I had a very very clean engine bay which I’m a huge fan of...”cleanliness is next to godliness” lol but after the HPA manifold installed, my setup I had no longer works... curious if anyone has done anything to clean up the bay using an engine cover with an aftermarket manifold installed....

Kind thanks everyone

I would just knock the filler neck off the valve cover and roll with it as is.

I like it without the cover actually.

What about a black billet valve cover to compliment your nice engine bay? No one would want to cover that up..

Wouldn't shutting the hood accomplish that? :iono:

Not when a state trooper or fellow enthusiast want to “see” what hes running... do you have a suggestion or no?

Yes pricey, but definitely sweet looking.

For me, it stopped the ridiculous big oil cloud of smoke that would happen behind me when I go WOT.. Restored the lost power from oil getting into the combustion chamber and I also no longer have to add oil every week..

Spark plugs stay cleaner and last longer and no more oil in my piping or intake manifold..

Looks great without cover! But a darker or slightly painted version of that cover would compliment as well.
I have a question for you, love your intake, I have a VWR as well, but I’m trying to go KO4 in a GTI. Where did you get you plumbing for your DV relocate that fits the VWR intake? OEM R or third party?
